Abstract excerpt
The complete 16S-23S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of 22 isolates of the obligate intracellular bacterium Coxiella burnetii, the agent of Q fever, were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced using an automated laser fluorescent DNA sequencer. The ITS measured 497 base pairs (bp) and encoded isoleucine-tRNA and alanine-tRNA. The comparison of the sequence alignments...
